Cong. Wilbert “Manoy” T. Lee of Agri Party-list has called on the public and media to focus on the significant gains he has secured for Filipino healthcare, rather than the microphone incident involving Cong. Paul Daza. During the House plenary deliberations of the Department of Health (DOH) budget on September 25, Lee grabbed the microphone in frustration, but his focus remained clear: advocating for improved healthcare services for all Filipinos.

Lee’s commitment to Filipino health is underscored by his push for several critical healthcare reforms, including a 50% increase in PhilHealth benefits and expanded coverage for vital diagnostic tests. “Hindi dapat matabunan ang ipinaglalaban nating ito dahil ito ang kailangang-kailangan nang maipatupad agad para sa kalusugan ng ating mga kababayan,” Lee stated. His efforts are focused on reducing the financial burden on Filipino families when it comes to healthcare.

While the media may focus on the controversy, Lee is determined to highlight the wins he has secured for Filipino healthcare and to ensure that these reforms are implemented effectively.
